Sorry to ask a stupid question again since this is the first time that i do migration.
I've got response from Andrew. But I would like to know that --
If I migrate SQL Server from one machine to another machine, I know I need to transfer all user databases, login, but do I need to migrate (Copy) the databases of Master, Model, MSDB, too?? If so, which method is more preferable? I stil don't see how I am able to transfer all the DTS Pakages?

Many Thanks

Ed

Personally I prefer to just restore a full backup in most cases but these

move all the objects or use sp_attached/sp_detached.  If I use Copy database
method/sp_attached method, do I get all the loginID copied, too... how about
all the Master, MSDB, Model, and how about all the DTS...
